in two days//within two days

The limited version of the newest video game console was sold out in two days after release.

HI,
Does "in two days" in the above sound right? Shouldn't it be replaced with "within two days?" Thanks.

"In two days" above is actually okay. If you put the word "just" in front of it, it sounds alright. So removing it would be fine too.
